Introducing the Primrose Butterwort! Easy to grow, it comes pre-potted in sand, peat, and perlite in a 3.5" pot. Say goodbye to pesky gnats and other annoying insects - this quirky plant is ready to catch them all! The succulent like leaves are covered in a sticky goo that attracts and traps their prey.

This plant also packs beautiful purple flower(s) (see the last photo to see some of ours flowering) that also have a tendency to flower frequently in warmer climates.

Care Instructions

Note: The guidance below is for Primuliflora specifically. Other pinguicula (temperate and Mexican) can require immensely different conditions.

Light

Pinguiculas need partial shade or bright indirect light. Too much sun for some variants can hurt them.

Water

  • Must be constantly wet (sitting in a tray of water – 1-inch or so is good).
  • Only use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Do not use purified water. Any water with > 50 PPM TDS will kill your plant over time. Filtered water is often not filtered enough for these plants.

Temperature

They will thrive year-round in indoor conditions, but can also handle warm temperatures. Plants should not be left outside in temperatures under 32F. Humidity should be 50%+.

Fertilizer

Fertilize in the evening every 2 weeks with ¼ teaspoon of MaxSea 16-16-16 mixed with 1-gallon of water. Spray the leaves.
